  • U.S. Taxpayers Challenge Funding of Genocide

    “I did not consent to my tax dollars being used to commit violence against my own family. … It is a ludicrous and delusional expectation that we, the American taxpayers, will stand idly by while money that should be going to our education, healthcare and veterans is instead going on to fund more war crimes, and more deaths. Justice is inevitable, and we will make sure that the United States government is held accountable for their role in this genocide.”

  • “Syria’s New Rulers Get a Makeover”

    “The messages started appearing on my phone as soon as I left Syria in mid-January. At first, there were links to articles, and social media posts, about threats to Alawis and Christians.

  • Talking to Hamas: “Netanyahu is Lying”

    These movements are often portrayed in a cartoonish manner as irrational terrorists who want to kill for the sake of killing.
